I was spun around on a snowy road and while sliding hit dry concrete. my vehicle jolted and the steering wheel locked up. now its stuck and hardly moves at all. I tried changing back to two wheel drive and then back to four but still nothing. When i back up it steers right and when i steers left..

my friend just bought a 2008 gmc sierra and the alarm keeps going off and the truck is pretty much in shut down. cant start it cant do anything. we’re trying to figure out how to fix this problem. we arent sure if its because of the key fob? we tried putting a new battery in the key fob, still nothing. when you go to start the truck it wont even turn over and the alarm keeps going off. also the key fob only turns on but doesnt actually do anything.

i have a 1995 sierra 2500 series 5.7 gas engine. my horn and my washer fluid arent working. i cleaned all my ground posts. put in new fuses. wen i hit the horn you can hear the relay switch clicking. and when i first went to use the washer fluid it squirted once then stopped. i took out the horn and the pump hooked them up to a battery and they both work. i cleaned all my ground posts with no go. any clues???

The Chilton’s manual for the range of trucks that includes mine includes a wiring diagram that is supposed to be year specific. This diagram shows a fuse panel marked ‘Horn’ under the relevant slot, when the stock fuse panel is, in fact, marked ‘Horn/DM’.  What does the ‘DM’ refer to, and more importantly, what all is served by this fuse??

I’m chasing a short that has this fuse apparently directly affecting the operation of both my fuel pump and my dome lights that I’m aware of at this point. This short is probably the direct result of wire overheating due to a much nastier short in the rear loom that I just repaired.

My boyfriend has a ’94 Sonoma and the other day he parked for 10 minutes and came back, and it just wouldnt start. When I try to start it the lights and everything come on, but nothing else happens except for a click.
I checked the ignition fuse, it was fine.
The battery is brand new and I just replaced the terminals, so there’s no corrosion or anything. I also cleaned the ground.
I replaced the starter, because it was in bad really bad shape and I’d been planning to do it anyway, and I was hoping that would fix it but it didn’t.

Any help with troubleshooting would be awesome, thanks in advanced

I recently got a 94 GMC Sonoma that has been setting for 4 years. The brake pedal went to about 1 inch from the floor with marginal stopping power. I bled the brakes with no change. I then changed the master cylinder and now the pedal goes down about 2 inches with so-so brakes then slowing drifts to about 1 inch from the floor. There are no visible leaks in the system. Any idea what I should do next?

what and where is the shift sensor on a 1996 gmc jimmy (vortec v6 4.3 engine)

Sugar in gas tank, I think and now the engine won’t start. What should I do?
